Skoze Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 It is a good thing that Danny Mac is ridding one of does other ways no one would consider of getting one really...People have wanted them regardless of Danny riding one, they're great frames (but they're not steel and are too long for my liking ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Get over it , its a trials bike not some Antiques Roadshow piece.The problem was that it was brand new at the time. If I'd put a dent in it there wouldn't be a problem, but because Ash dented my lovely new frame it kinda sucked. This coming from you who spent two weeks just spraying a set of forks!!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Very nice bike ! Love it , is it slightly "inspired" by Danny Macaskill's bike by anychance How dare you. How very dare you. Mine's an original batch white one which I sprayed before Dave even thought of getting them done in blue (possibly)! I also helped to talk Dave into getting the Inspired fork run done in white too to match my bike! I maintain that Danny copied me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Super nice looking bike you got there! I'll be building one up myself when they come back in stock.What other chain tensioners have you run? I'm trying to decide between sprung or fixed. Have you tried a Rohloff sprung?

Have you tried a Rohloff sprung?Rholoff is kickass as a tensioner, im running one on my fourplay. Only hting is, im running a collapse chain on mine which is a fat ol b*****d, so u gotta remove the 2 cogs on the rohloff and add a thin washer on either side to allow for thr extra chain width. Other than that, they loop perfectly from one cog across to the other with minimal noise or tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be building one up myself when they come back in stock.What other chain tensioners have you run? I'm trying to decide between sprung or fixed. Have you tried a Rohloff sprung?I've run the Echo fixed tensioner (the one built into the fixed hubs) and am currently running an Atomz sprung. I bought a Rohloff before the Atomz but didn't realise it was incompatible with either the Echo hub or Trialtech fixed I use for street. However, if your setup allows I've only ever heard good things about the Rohloff- really nicely engineered and excellent tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The bike looks pretty sweet, but it still seems weird people have to run that many spacers to get their bars in the right place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 it still seems weird people have to run that many spacers to get their bars in the right place...They don't really, just they prefer that to a high rise (30-35 degree) stem...

Dan81 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 They don't really, just they prefer that to a high rise (30-35 degree) stem...In practice the stem option isn't the same as a 35deg stem long enough to put the bars at an equivalent height would mean a longer reach.I still think that either having to run a load of spacers/wierd stem makes the design fundamentally flawed. That said, this bike looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
